Lance armstrong family pictures

Lance Armstrong married his girlfriend of 14 years Anna Hansen in an intimate ceremony at a luxurious venue in France.

And his children were the first to pay tribute to the happy couple.

The 50-year-old disgraced cyclists' two children - 22-year-old son Luke and 20-year-old daughter Grace - posted galleries of the big day along with touching captions.

Grace gushed over her dad's new wife Anna, 41, as she wrote: 'I’ve been calling her my best friend for over a decade, now I get to call her my Step Mom. 

'Nothing makes me happier than seeing my Dad smile, and she’s been doing it for 14 years. Congrats newly weds [champagne and party hat emojis]'

Among the snaps included in the gallery was an image of Grace and 10-year-old sister Olivia posing with the blushing bride.

Luke shared a snap of the entire family including 13-year-old brother Max.

He shared it with the humorous caption: 'Best man, best father, best step mother, best maid of honor, best family, best wedding, best photog… VERY questionable Reverend.'

Both children shared several images from the big day which took place at the very posh Chateau

Former professional road racing cyclist Lance Armstrong wasn’t always regarded as a family man. However, these days, the Plano, Texas, native is all about his wife, Anna Hansen, and their big, blended family. To learn more about Lance’s kids, keep reading.  

How many kids does Lance Armstrong have?

The seven-time Tour de France winner has five children; three with ex-wife Kristin Richard and two with wife Anna.

Lance and Kristin, who were married from 1998 to 2003, share son Luke and twins Grace and Isabelle, while he and Anna share daughter Olivia and son Max.

Lance and Anna tied the knot in August 2022 after nearly 15 years together. “Best. Day. Ever. Married the love of my life @annahansenarmstrong. So special having our kids there as well. It was an evening full of laughter and plenty of joyful tears,” the retired athlete captioned wedding photos via Instagram.

“Anna, you have been my absolute rock the past 14 years and let me be clear, I would not have survived them without you. I am so proud of the couple we have become. It took us doing the work, the really hard work, and I am so glad that we did. I love you immensely and will always be here for you and our family,” he continued, before thanking his officiant and photographer. “Hope you are all having an excellent summer — I sure as hell am.”

While Lance and Anna’s life looks picture-perfect now, they’ve gone through tough times together, most notably after Lance admitted to using banned drugs during all seven of his Tour de France victories. He was later stripped of all of his cycling achievements from August 1998 onward. Lance also received a lifetime ban from all sports that acknowledge the World Anti-Doping Code.

It was actually his children who encouraged him to come clean. “I saw my son defending me and saying, ‘That’s not true — what you’re saying about my dad is not true,'” Lance recalled during a January 2013 interview.

Even after his highly publicized scandal, Anna supported L

Lance Edward Armstrong (néGunderson; born September 18, 1971) is an American former professional road racing cyclist. He achieved international fame for winning the Tour de France a record seven consecutive times from 1999 to 2005, but was stripped of his titles in 2012 after an investigation into doping allegations, called the Lance Armstrong doping case, found that Armstrong used performance-enhancing drugs over his career. As a result, Armstrong is currently banned for life from all sanctioned bicycling events.

At age 16, Armstrong began competing as a triathlete and was a national sprint-course triathlon champion in 1989 and 1990. In 1992, he began his career as a professional cyclist with the Motorola team. Armstrong had success between 1993 and 1996 with the World Championship in 1993, the Clásica de San Sebastián in 1995, Tour DuPont in 1995 and 1996, and a handful of stage victories in Europe, including stage 8 of the 1993 Tour de France and stage 18 of the 1995 Tour de France. In 1996, he was diagnosed with a potentially fatal metastatictesticular cancer. After recovering, Armstrong founded the Lance Armstrong Foundation (now the Livestrong Foundation) to assist other cancer survivors.

Returning to cycling in 1998, Armstrong was a member of the US Postal/Discovery team between 1998 and 2005 when he won his seven Tour de France titles. Armstrong retired from racing at the end of the 2005 Tour de France, but returned to competitive cycling with the Astana team in January 2009, finishing third in the 2009 Tour de France later that year. Between 2010 and 2011, he raced with Team Radio Shack, and retired for a second time in 2011.

Armstrong became the subject of doping allegations after winning the 1999 Tour de France. For years, he denied involvement in doping. In 2012, a United States Anti-Doping Agency (USA
